Association between alcohol consumption and allergic rhinitis in US adults.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Increasing evidence suggests that alcohol consumption may be associated with allergic diseases. This cross-sectional analysis aimed to determine the correlation between alcohol consumption patterns and allergic rhinitis (AR) in US adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 2,179 individuals aged 20 years and older who took part in the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which assessed AR and alcohol consumption patterns. Alcohol consumption was categorized into three groups: "Never" (fewer than 12 drinks in a lifetime), "Now" (currently drinking), and "Former" (a prior history of drinking but no longer consuming alcohol). The association between alcohol consumption patterns and AR was analyzed separately for men and women, adjusting for several comorbidities. Results: Individuals who currently consume alcohol are more likely to exhibit elevated levels of total IgE and cat/dog dander-specific IgE compared to non-consumers. Compared to "Never" in the male group, "Now" (currently drinking) was positively associated with AR in both the partially adjusted analysis and the fully adjusted model. However, we did not find any positive relationship between alcohol consumption patterns and AR in the female group, which suggests that current drinking was linked to a higher prevalence of AR in men but not in women. Conclusion: We discovered that current drinking was positively associated with a high prevalence of AR in men.
